Thoughts from Metro

One of my New Years resolutions (amongst many) was to not nap on the bus in the morning. Not only does napping make me sore from the positions I end up in trying to catch my Z's but I also am usually more tired when I get off the bus at the end of my ride. I have tried many tactics to keep my eyes open few have been successful, so today I try blogging from my cell phone. I hope the guy sleeping infront of me doesn't mind the key clicking noise.

My stress level has been reduced this week, a lot. I have had lots of help from people in accomplishing this, but mainly things are resolving themselves and that in its self has been a blessing.

Eric and I will be purchasing our new car (likely) next weekend. Happy Birthday to both of us!

I am working on my dental issues by getting a predetermination on getting my top wisdom teeth pulled. (YUCK - No offence Doc.).

I de-stress by doing things little kids love and I am serriously considering a 2nd career as a coloring book artist.

My job load has been lightened significantly, the new gal rocks, and soon work will be back to normal again.

This Monday is Eric's birthday! Don't forget!

Mariya and I have got everything booked for Vegas and couldn't be more excited for that!

Happy Days are here again!

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off. This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it! I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

8 Years Ago Today...

8 Years ago today... I was in the Kent/Des Moines Park and Ride puking in the bushes because I was SO Nervous about my first day at KMS. I didn't know If I could hack it in the big city. I didn't know a thing about being a Receptionist, and I didn't even know what a Broker/Dealer was, but I swallowed the lump in my throat and decided to take it head on. I've learned SO MUCH - an Immeasurable amount of life and work lessons from my 8 years at KMS, and I could muse all day long about the Farm Fresh 22 year old you see to the left and how naive she was. KMS has given me a gift of balancing a work life and a home life and still being able to give my 110% when I'm at work without losing my balance. When I walked in the door this morning, my co-workers had created this celebration from me, and after they arrived, it got bigger with gifts, and notes, and cards, and decorations. They wanted to celebrate me, and my achievements here, though If they would have kn...
